FAQ
What makes the Wire Worm Rust & Copper Brown effective in off-color water?
The pattern closely resembles a high-protein aquatic worm, which is naturally attracted to fish in turbid or high-water conditions where visibility is low.
Is this fly suitable for use in cold or clear streams?
It is primarily designed for tailwaters and runoff conditions. Performance in clear, cold streams may vary and is not guaranteed.
Can this fly be used in both freshwater and saltwater environments?

This fly worked perfectly during a high-water trip on a tailwater. The rust and copper color matched the sediment perfectly, and the action mimicked a real worm. I caught several trout with it in the early morning when the water was murky.
Justin Hardacre –
Used it during a rainy season trip and it was one of the few flies that produced fish. The color holds well in runoff, and it’s a reliable option when other patterns fail.
Robert Glover –
Great for when the water is muddy or high. I’ve used it in multiple tailwater systems and it consistently draws fish when other patterns don’t.
